I realize I haven't really made an entry about my life in quite so time so I thought I'd go ahead and update everyone at this point. Oddlly enough I'm going to be turning 36 soon. Argh sometimes that seems so freaking old. Even though I haven't been terribly productive I guess you still get into patterns of life.

At the moment I'm sitting at a local Cafe spinning lots & lots of old 80's vinyl records. It's kind of fun and I've been doing it way too much lately. The Antique store down the street has all kinds of old 80's records for $1 & $2 dollars so I can't help, but continue to buy even though I can't really afford the 10 or 20 albums I've been picking up at a time.

There's something cool about vinyl. It definitely has a particular sound to it when it's played & it's fun for me to be able to buy all of these albums from my youth I wasn't able to afford. At the moment I'm listening to a 12" of Fascination by the Human League. For all of you other old people out there. Did you know that they are still together?

I'm also now playing a 12" of "Be Near Me" by ABC. The other 2 songs I just played were 19 by Paul Hardcastle & Russian Radio by Red Flag. Damn they use to play this music ages ago on the regular stations. Hard to believe they're considered retro classics these days. Most of these kids wouldn't know any of these damn groups, but I enjoy spinning the vinyl & it's even niftier because they have 2 turntables where you can fade one song into the next. I feel so much like an 80's DJ. At least some of you other old timers would enjoy the music I play.

I'm sure the poor, cute 22 year old boy who works here wants to kill me. I imagine it's a bit like if I was his age & some old hippies were playing there stinky music back in the day.
